Dr. Amir and Dr. Sunny Mojahed usually begin seeing children for dental treatments around age of three. Many parents wonder why dental treatment is necessary at such an early age. Your son or daughter probably has all their baby teeth at this age.
These first visits focus on getting your child started on a lifetime of excellent oral health. If you're looking for gentle children's dentistry in Allentown, PA, provided by professionals who care about your little one's well-being, please call Evolve Dental Care at (610) 797-8245 to get started.
How can you help my child relax during their first visit?
We start slowly because there's no point in rushing a child into treatment if they're not ready. If your child is more comfortable sitting in your lap for the first few visits, that's okay with us. The key is to let them dictate the pace of treatment. Rushing a child into dental treatment who isn't receptive creates unnecessary stress, and that's the last thing we want! Dr. Amir and Dr. Sunny use time-tested techniques like the show, tell, and do method to help your child relax.

Why are baby teeth so important if they fall out anyway?
Your child's baby (primary) teeth will fall out, but until they do, they play a crucial role in their dental development. They are placeholders for permanent teeth that will follow, so if your little one loses a baby tooth too soon, adjacent teeth will shift and crowd the open space. This movement can result in alignment issues in the future because permanent teeth no longer have a clear path into which they can emerge properly.
Primary teeth also help your baby begin to enjoy solid foods and say their first words.
Does my child need dental sealants or fluoride treatments?
Fluoride is an essential mineral that keeps your child's teeth strong and healthy. In addition to regular exams, we may also recommend a topical fluoride varnish to protect and strengthen your child's teeth.
Dental sealants are another preventive treatment that goes a long way toward promoting a healthy smile. Sealants act as a barrier that protects your child's teeth from the bacteria that cause cavities. Dr. Amir or Dr. Sunny may recommend sealants if we find that your little one's teeth are prone to cavities or their molars have uneven surfaces and deep grooves.
